The invention relates to a method for representing moving bodies, in which an optical representation of the body and a data field assigned to the body are simultaneously or alternatively represented from the same perspective and on the same scale in real time. The method comprises the following steps: - Provision of an optical imaging system consisting of camera and monitor; - Assignment of a spatial data field to the body situated in a particular position; - Continued recording of the spatial position of the body; - Continued calculation of a representation of the data field which corresponds in each case to the position of the body; - Simultaneous or alternative representation of the optical image and of the data field on the monitor. The invention further relates to a device for carrying out the method. <IMAGE>
